Country heads to the Riverina on Sunday afternoon as the Murrumbidgee Turf Club gets set to host a competitive eight-race program. The rail is out +4m between the 1400m and the winning post, then sits true for the rest of the course. Pristine conditions in the lead-up should leave the surface rated a Good 4, with the opening event scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm local time.
Best Bet at Wagga: Sizzle Minizzle
Despite being winless over the last 12 months, Sizzle Minizzle brings an element of class to this Open staying contest. His last win came in the Country Championships Final (1400m) at Randwick in April of 2023, and since that career highlight, the Brett Robb-trained gelding has been unable to replicate the feat. This appears to be his most manageable task since, and with the four-year-old prepared to strike for the first time at 1800m, Sizzle Minizzle should justify favouritism with online bookmakers.

Next Best at Wagga: Anilla
Anilla was sensational at Oakbank on March 30 and appears set to peak third-up into the campaign. The son of Valentia was storming over the top, but hit a flat spot in the middle stages, closing within two lengths of Second To Nun. That form reads exceptionally well heading back to country grade, and although Blaike McDougall will need to drag Anilla back worse than mid-field throughout, watch for this guy to be burst clear at the top of the straight.

Best Value at Wagga: Take The Rap
Take The Rap gets sent to the races on the back of one impressive barrier trial victory at Goulburn on March 24. The Norm Gardner-trained gelding took a sit before clearing out by 1.4 lengths under a strangle hold, suggesting the son of Star Turn may possesses above-average ability. It was a terrific piece of education for the two-year-old, and with the current each-way price available with online betting sites, punters should be willing to take the price for Take The Rap.

#5 Take The Rap (6)
